Chemical selector
The Pesticide Selector includes suggestions for chemical control of pests in Kansas crops, which are provided by K-State Research and Extension, and may not be relevant for states other than Kansas. We will continue to expand this tool for help in selecting other types of agricultural chemicals, and for other states. Contact the myFields Team if you are interested in contributing content!

Crop type: Soybean
Application type: Postemergence
A combination of Ultra Blazer and Basagran can be used for control of annual broadleaf weeds. Storm is a premix of 2.67 lb bentazon and 1.33 lb acifluorfen/gal. Apply before seedling weeds reach size limits listed on the label. Apply with NIS. For improved velvetleaf control, apply with COC or with 1 gal 28% nitrogen solution/acre.
A contact herbicide that controls many broadleaf weeds. Apply when seedling weeds are in the 4- to 6-leaf stage and growing actively. Apply with NIS. Ultra Blazer can burn, bronze, or crinkle some soybean leaves. Soybean outgrows this condition, and new growth develops normally. Do not apply within 50 days of harvest. Do not use treated plants for feed or forage.
